I'm a Christian, married to my wonderful husband, Adrian, since 1978 (where has the time gone?). We have two children, Michael and Elizabeth who are just the best children we could have wished for, we're so blessed, and proud of them. Michael and Aisling,our daughter in law, have a daughter Bronwyne Ann. Elizabeth is married to Martyn. I use my crafting to raise funds for various charities. The charity that I'm currently sponsoring is Save The Children

Margaret Does Steampunk!

Next week it is our son's birthday and I always try and make his cards a bit different to my normal style. This is what I came up with

All the "metal work" was done using my new sprocket dies from Spellbinders

I attached them using brads and some 3D foam

The Happy Birthday sentiment I covered with UTEE and then distressed it by cracking the enamel

I used different papers to produce different effects and added some gilding flakes to add to the design on the clock BP and on some of the cogs.

Materials used

Leathered and striped papers and the tags and paper ribbon from Making Cards magazine

The clock paper and the rusty steel (the largest sprocket) were from my friend,Pat, with thanks
